He stated he has been cleaning <br />out the truck for the night every day and as he has a 16 yard box <br />on the truck he has been dumping 3 to 5 yards at a time so it <br />will be clean. Mrs. DeClercq advised the Board that she has <br />checked her files and since the Public Hearing held on June 23, <br />1987 there have not been a substantial number of complaints <br />received regarding Mr. Swinson. She stated she would like to <br />continue to work with Mr. Swinson to find a location for him to <br />park his truck at night when it is not unloaded. Mrs. DeClercq <br />made a motion to continue this matter for four (4) weeks to <br />monitor the situation. Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion and <br />it carried. Mr. Leszczynski stated that if Mr. Swinson is still <br />complying at the end of four (4) weeks, this matter need not come <br />back before the Board of Public Works. <br />Mr. Swinson stated he knows the neighbor who is probably <br />complaining about him because this neighbor checks his truck all <br />the time. Mr. Swinson advised that he has the proper license and <br />city permits and does not know what more he can do to satisfy <br />this neighbor. Mrs. DeClercq stated that there is a city <br />ordinance that states that you cannot park a trash truck on a <br />residential street with any trash in it. <br />OPENING AND AWARD OF BIDS - SALE OF ABANDONED VEHICLES <br />This was the date set for receiving and opening of sealed bids <br />for the sale of approximately twenty-two (22) abandoned vehicles <br />which have been stored at Steve and Gene's Auto & Truck Salvage <br />and Repair, 3109 South Gertrude Street, South Bend, Indiana.
